US PRESIDENT OBAMA MUST VETO BILL ALLOWING FOR
INDEFINITE DETENTION WITHOUT TRIAL - ICJ
Geneva, Switzerland - The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) today deplored the passage of legislation by the United States House of Representatives that would allow for the indefinite imprisonment of terrorism suspects, detained anywhere in the world, without charge or trial. The ICJ considers the legislation to be incompatible with international law, including human rights principles, and calls on US President Barack Obama to veto it.
